Across the Universe

Across the Universe by Beth Revis

I'm not quite sure what genre this book is in. It seems to be science fiction, but its about a mystery, not a space battle. But it isn't quite a mystery exactly. So I'm calling it both. Also, because I haven't added the age thing, I would like to say that this has some mature content included. So beware.

The book starts when Amy is getting cryogenically frozen so that she can go with her parents to a world called Centurai-Earth, as apposed to Sol-Earth. But just as she is being frozen, she hears that there is another year before the ship will launch. A year that she could have stayed with her friends. And she is mad.

Then the book is from this guy named Elder on the ship. He was born on the ship along with all the feeders and the shippers and Eldest. He finds the cryo lab where everyone is frozen, and finds Amy. Somehow, Amy gets unfrozen. And then the adventures begin.

I really cant tell you much more, because the first bit of the book is about finding the things that are mysterious, and the second part is about solving the mysteries. So I really can't tell you about it. But it's a good book, I can tell you that.

And if you liked the book, there's a new one called A Million Suns
